Chapter 23 – My mistake, I will end it

"I'm going back now."

Karun tried to keep his voice calm. With Dis's appearance, he felt more confident than before.

Although Dis had been holding his life in his hands, it was still better than being blown away like a dandelion.

But in the end, he was still a fake preacher. What was fake was fake. So after saying this, he immediately added:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Alfred took out a business card and handed it over respectfully.

Karun took the business card, which showed the position of "Roja Radio Host" and a phone number.

"I look forward to hearing from you again."

Alfred stepped back two steps and continued:

"You can choose to call this number, or you can come directly to the door of this room. Your call is like the sunrise and sunset, an unbreakable rule for me."

Karun breathed a sigh of relief as he took the business card back.

No demands were the best, because he really didn't know what he could give.

More than 20,000 lubei of private money?

Plus a Mifit gold watch?

Or a 50% discount coupon for the Inmores Funeral Home after you die?

Fortunately, Lady Molly was sensible and didn't make any demands.

But next, Lady Molly knelt directly in front of Karun.

She knelt, but she looked up.

If it were someone else facing such worship, they would inevitably feel a sense of control over the superior. But this feeling did not apply to Lady Molly. When she knelt down, it was as if she was staring at you.

"Please forgive my irrationality, but I hope that you, the great one, will give me a purified body."

Body?

A corpse?

If it was a corpse, there was no shortage of them at home. There were still three lying in the basement.

He could find a way to steal it himself.

But what did a purified body mean?

This must refer to something special.

Otherwise, Jeff's body and Mrs. Xius's body were both intact, but Lady Molly did not choose them.

But if he were to ask now, "So, what is a purified body?" it would likely break the facade of being "profound and mysterious" and expose himself as a fraud, like a physics professor pointing to a capital "E" and asking what it means.

But what he needed to do now was to leave here. So Karun gave his answer:

"Wait."

"Thank you, great one. I will always crawl in front of you and offer you all my loyalty."

Karun did not respond, just nodded slightly, calmly put Mrs. Xius's belongings in his backpack, lifted the backpack, and walked towards the door.

When he walked out of the master bedroom, he noticed that the other two did not follow.

Going down the stairs, step by step, he walked out of leisure, out of indifference, out of casualness.

Perhaps he was walking too seriously, Karun turned a corner and forgot whether to step with his left or right foot. He accidentally stepped on two stairs and, holding the backpack, lost his balance and had to walk quickly forward."Dodododo..."

Finally,

With his right hand on the railing,

He turned his body,

"Thud!"

Jumped and landed.

To cover up his embarrassment,

Karun laughed out loud:

"Haha."

Trying to disguise his loss of composure as a childlike innocence.

Opening the entrance door,

Karun walked out.

Passing through the yard, he didn't turn back to look at the window upstairs, but opened the yard door directly and walked forward, forward, forward, and finally stood in front of Dis.

Opening his mouth,

He exhaled heavily,

Then took a deep breath,

The strong sense of security made his brain a little oxygenated.

Dis looked at Karun and said nothing, but walked a few steps forward to the yard door.

"Mr. Alfred."

At the position of the second-floor window, Alfred smiled slightly and responded:

"Your Honor."

"Remember our agreement."

Alfred replied:

"I have never violated our agreement, and Lady Molly has not left this room. Although another person died today, I assure you that she died guilty."

Dis turned around and looked at Karun.

Karun pointed to Mrs. Xius's red "Kai Men" car and said, "I can explain."

Seeing that Dis did not object, Karun opened the car door, first put the backpack in, and then sat in.

Dis sat in the passenger seat, and Puerh jumped in from the car window and landed in the back seat.

Karun started the car.

On the balcony of the second floor, watching the car gradually disappear at the end of the street, Alfred coughed lightly and looked down at the three cigarette butts on the ground:

"I still don't understand why humans invented this slow poison to kill themselves."

Lady Molly replied: "Humans have been on the road to death since they were born."

"Lady Molly, your answer is becoming more and more philosophical. Maybe in the future, I can invite you to be a special guest on my show, well, anyway, the audience friends can't see you."

Lady Molly looked at Alfred and asked:

"Aren't you going to put away your charm demon eyes?"

"Oh? Ah, haha."

Alfred's blood-colored pupils began to recede and returned to ordinary people's pupils, with a faint gray feeling on top.

"Alfred, I really don't understand you. You were the first to discover that great existence, and today you took the most humble attitude, but why have you been staring at that great existence with your charm demon eyes?"

The charm demon eyes have the ability to insight and can dispel illusions, but they can also capture people's hearts.

Therefore, charm demons are a relatively intelligent branch in the supernatural sequence, or even in the entire social sequence, because they are not easily deceived.

Many times, being able to not be deceived is already a sign of intelligence.Karun had a similar feeling when facing Alfred before. In front of him, he absolutely couldn't lie.

Therefore, in their previous conversation, no matter how humble Alfred was, Karun always answered with "the plain truth."

"I just want to express my respect, to let that great existence see my true face. This is a symbol of loyalty."

"I don't believe you."

Alfred shrugged.

"Actually, the more you believe in something, the higher your suspicion of it will be. That's why some great scientists turn to theology in their later years."

"Do you still doubt him? I thought you were completely devoted to that great existence."

"Do you know what my biggest doubt is?" Alfred self-mockingly said, "That is, he has no doubts."

"I know, you told me about the hymns, the words."

"Not only that, do you remember a month ago when I left Roja to go to Bellwin City?"

"I remember."

"Many churches sent people there, and even the army of the Rulan government was mobilized to block that area. Do you know what happened there?"

"What happened?"

"Someone held a god-summoning ceremony in the suburbs of Bellwin City."

"A god-summoning ceremony?" Lady Molly's face was calm. "What do you mean?"

The god-summoning ceremony is used by many churches to pray for the light and will of the gods they serve, guiding the lost believers.

"Oh?" Alfred lowered his voice. "But the god-summoning ceremony that time summoned a demon god, and an unknown one!"

The demon god does not refer to a single entity, it is a collective term.

For the churches with a huge orthodox status and continuous inheritance, their gods are worshipped as true gods.

Their gods have nothing to do with "demon gods" because anyone who dares to call the gods they believe in demon gods will be exterminated.

In addition to the orthodox church, there are many small churches. Although their number of believers is not as large as that of the orthodox church and their influence is not as great, their gods can still be respected and recognized on the basis of "survival."

In addition, there are also branches of "gods", which are the system of gods that are attached to the branches of the orthodox church. These gods may be disciples of true gods or they may have served the church's creator and gradually evolved into new branches, which can be integrated in the narrative structure.

Even some evil gods, such as those with extreme doctrines and ruthless styles of behavior, who have been besieged and even exterminated, their beliefs and the gods they serve cannot be regarded as demon gods.

Demon gods... have no belief and do not exist by relying on belief. Their definition, to put it simply, is a single entity. They roam between heaven and earth, or are sealed in some corner of myth and legend, but they can be "guided" through the "god-summoning" ceremony.This is a behavior that disrupts order, because such behavior is likely to cause great disaster, and who knows what kind of thing will be summoned in the end.

However, for many years, although there have been some disasters, they have not occurred many times, and there are few records in ancient books.

The reason is the specification limitation.

The specification of the ceremony of summoning gods needs to be prepared.

The level of the specification directly determines what kind of "god" you can summon.

This not only refers to material preparation, in fact, material preparation is relatively simple. Most of the materials can be bought with money, even "sacred artifacts".

The level of the specification is related to the ability of the ceremony host.

The stronger the ability of the ceremony host, the higher the specification of the ceremony of summoning gods.

And people who can hold high-specification ceremonies basically only exist in the orthodox church, because only the orthodox church can obtain such development.

For a small church priest to hold the same ceremony of summoning gods, summoning a ray of light is already the limit, and even for this, he should be grateful.

For the priests of the big church, it is normal to summon miracles, and for higher-level priests or hosts, summoning "artifacts" is recorded in ancient books.

The lowest level of the ordinary "evil god" summoning ceremony can summon weak and small demons that are wandering nearby, such as "playing pen fairy". Even if it does not have the ability to kill, it is enough to scare ordinary people to death.

With the continuous improvement of the specification, the strength and types of the summoned demons will also increase.

But, all of these are tolerable.

In this world, having one more relatively powerful demon is not a big deal. The profound heritage of the orthodox churches can easily annihilate them.

Therefore, demons either hide in remote corners, or they are very cautious in human society and dare not cause too much trouble.

The ones that are often solved are low-end goods like the brainless possession of Mrs. Xius.

What the big church really cannot tolerate is the summoning ceremony of evil gods with higher specifications.

Because the big church monopolizes such high-specification ceremonies, so all the summonings that can be called "evil gods" in ancient records are done by these high-level personnel within the orthodox church.

These people are also called "rebels", who rebel not only against their own church, but also against the entire order framework.

During the day, they have the ability to summon miracles through the ceremony of summoning gods.

Then, at night, they have the same ability to summon powerful demons beyond the acceptable range... also known as "evil gods".

Every time an "evil god" descends, it is a disaster, which can cause extremely terrifying turbulence, and even lead to the demise of an orthodox church.

Because the summoned evil god may have fought against or been suppressed and sealed by a certain true god in the previous era or in mythological legends."别忘了你已经成为了异魔,肉身早已经不再是你的本质。"

"Ling returned, even though his strength had weakened a lot, the hatred he had for the sect left behind by his former enemies could not be described in words.

What was even more bizarre was that, throughout the ages, no matter how powerful the orthodox church was, they could only summon "divine artifacts" or "divine shadows" at most. No church had the ability to summon a "true god" to descend again.

With the inability of a true god to descend, if they wanted to suppress the evil gods again, they would have to pay a terrible price.

Lady Molly finally showed a look of shock on her face: "Evil god!"

Immediately after,

Lady Molly's eyes turned and she asked:

"Did it succeed?"

Alfred seemed very satisfied with Lady Molly's change of emotion and said, "If it didn't succeed, why would it attract so much attention? Similarly, the level of this god summoning ceremony must be extremely high.

Otherwise, even if we summon one more of you, or one more of me, what does it matter?"

"No, Alfred, what I mean is..."

Alfred nodded and said, "A powerful judge, so powerful that it's unbelievable.

After that battle, do you know what I was most afraid of? It seemed like we fought to a draw, both of us were injured.

But after thinking about it, I realized that all the divine spells he used were only taught and used by the judge level of the Order Church.

A member of the Order Church who was obviously much stronger than a judge, deliberately fought me using judge-level divine spells.

It can only mean one thing,

he,

is hiding his strength."

"So, actually, you can't beat him?"

"Lady Molly, that's not the point!"

"Okay, sorry."

"Besides, I didn't use all my strength either. I'm also afraid of being hunted down by the Order Church."

"Okay, continue."

"Today, tonight, I understand."

"Is it him?" Lady Molly asked, "The grandfather in the bloodline of a great existence? But the god summoning ceremony happened in Bellwin..."

At this point, Lady Molly shut up;

Because it would be stupid to hold such a taboo ceremony in the city where they lived. They would have to change the location.

"So, Lady Molly, what I suspect and fear is not his greatness, he must be a great existence, that's beyond doubt!

What I suspect and fear is that, beneath the appearance of a true god, what if he is actually the essence of an evil god?

An evil god,

that is an existence that even the two of us, as supernatural beings, fear and dread."

Alfred glanced at the area where Mrs. Xius was swallowed up earlier,

muttering:

"The Light of Order.

Perhaps,

he is a terrifying existence that was once suppressed by the God of Order."

Lady Molly had some doubts: "What about my...physical body?"

Alfred pressed down on the brim of his hat and reminded her:

"Don't forget that you have become a supernatural being, and your physical body is no longer your essence.""Relax, whether it's a true god or a demon, in front of him, we just need to play our roles well, not make noise, not disturb, not pry, and when he needs us, we'll be there, giving everything."

"Alfred, can you describe this role more clearly? I'm afraid I won't be able to play it well."

"Okay, listen carefully."

Alfred opened his arms and said, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

...

"That's the situation."

As Karun drove, he told Dis everything that had happened tonight without reservation.

For some reason, every time he glanced at Puerh sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror during the conversation, a restless emotion rose in Karun's heart. But he considered himself not the kind of pervert who would abuse cats.

"Grandpa, do you think those two were stupid? I was really scared at the time, but fortunately, I fooled them and saved my life."

Dis, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't say anything.

And Puerh, sitting in the back seat, had a more vivid humanoid smile.

Finally, the car stopped at the door of the Xius crematorium.

Since Old Darcy died, the Xius crematorium had closed down, and even if it hadn't, it would have closed long ago at this hour.

"What are we doing here?" Dis finally spoke.

Karun explained, "Chief Duke should be able to find clues soon and discover that Mrs. Xius is the real culprit. So I plan to send Mrs. Xius's clothes and car back to the crematorium to create the illusion that Mrs. Xius knew the truth had been exposed and had fled. After all, we can't find her again."

She's gone.

Dis nodded at the words.

Karun held Mrs. Xius's clothes and got out of the car. This car also belonged to Mrs. Xius.

There were a bunch of keys in the relics, and Karun opened the door lock and walked in with his backpack, followed by Dis.

Puerh followed elegantly with cat steps, and the moonlight stretched its graceful shadow.

Karun came to the office, which was just a wall away from the crematorium.

In the early morning of the crematorium, there was a depressing silence.

Karun placed Mrs. Xius's clothes on the ground and on the table, then opened his backpack and placed the tools inside. Hmm, there were really a lot of them.

Although Mrs. Xius's artistic level was mediocre, she was well prepared with art tools, just like a student who liked to prepare new stationery before studying hard.

Karun pulled a chair over and sat down. "Grandpa, I estimate that the police should be able to find the culprit tonight. They will definitely send police to the crematorium as soon as possible. Of course, if they don't come, you can call the police after you go back and say that your grandson disappeared after sending Mrs. Xius home tonight."In addition, please tie me to this chair and make it look like I am the next victim.

As for Mrs. Xiusi, she must have sensed something when the police arrived and ran away.

Tonight, my and Aunt Mary's and Mrs. Xiusi's activities cannot escape the police's notice, so we have to tie up loose ends like this.

Dis nodded and walked behind Karun. He silently took out a knife from the pile of equipment in his backpack and played with it.

Karun, sitting in the chair, was still waiting for his grandfather to tie him up, unaware of what was happening behind him.

He only saw Puerh, the black cat squatting in front of him, whose smile made him increasingly uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, there is another way. You can use some objects to knock me unconscious. This way, the effect will be better when the police come, and I can explain to them more easily afterwards if you can find some sleeping pills or other psychiatric drugs here."

"No need to go through so much trouble."

Dis walked up to Karun.

Karun smiled and said, "Of course, it's all up to you, Grandpa. Whatever you choose, I trust you..."

"Poof!"

A sharp pain struck Karun. He couldn't believe it and lowered his head, seeing a knife inserted into his chest.

He heard his grandfather's voice in his ear, "The mistake I started should be ended by me."
